Weight lifting and being tired all the time

Are you taking any pre workout supplement? Jack3d would give me a rush when lifting then a nasty crash. If you're taking a stim packed pre supplement you could be suffering from the caffeine crash afterwards.

So far here are the suggestions ranked by plausibility:

1. Insufficient nutrition and/or rest.
2. Weightlifting sucks if I'm to become a ninja assassin.
3. There's no overcoming my puss-weedness.
4. Body ravaged from old age.
5. I'm getting high from water.
6. My prostate not getting milked often enough.

I think you meant to say 1 and 1a. The rest can go into the dustbin.

The good thing is you can get your bloodwork and prostate done at the same time.

Especially if your doctor has huge hands.

Here is my 2 cents. I think you need to train less and rest more. You might be hardgainer ( I am). I used to go to gym and do weightlifting every other day and train like maniac for 1.5-2 hrs. I was going through numerous exercises and was eating lots and taking protein shakes, creatine, tribulus, etc etc, and never gained any significant muscle and felt tired and exhausted most of the time. Then some smart dude explained to me how hardgainers should train. Two simple principles - intensive compound exercises ( you basically need three exercises - squat, dead lift and incline bench press) for no longer then 45-50 min per session and 3-4 days resting. You grow muscle when resting not when in the gym! And eat, eat, eat a lot. I gained 15lbs of muscle that way in 6 month and was feeling better then ever ( that was at the age of 39). Maybe that's what you should try.
 
Update?

Was it low testosterone like Girlybum? Or anemia? Or too many Sea men in your diet? Or not enough?

Got blood-work results yesterday. Iron deficient, but just barely. Apparently the multivitamin I use does not contain iron, and I don't eat a lot of meat. Doc said my iron levels are probably normal prior to weight lifting regiment, but apparently I need more iron now that I'm lifting. A problem easily remedied, thankfully. :)

Good to hear it wasn't anything super serious. I know it doesn't compare completely, but I was anemic when I was undergoing chemo and I just felt like sleeping all the time. My doctor put me on iron supplements and it immediately improved. That was why I thought about that first thing. Strange how that works sometimes.

Yep. I replaced my supplement yesterday, and I already feel better. I'm not sure if it's the placebo effect or perhaps a coincidence, but I feel perfectly normal at the moment. :)

I appreciate all the input.
